Overview

The Industrial-Organizational Psychology program from University of Oklahoma provides students with the knowledge and research skills needed to study human motivation, performance, and well-being in the workplace. Students are also provided with opportunities to work on real-world projects, in both academic and industrial settings, that examine the application of psychological principles and findings to workforce management. The primary objective of the I-O Psychology program is to train individuals seeking the Ph.D. degree to conduct research and to practice in the areas of industrial psychology and organizational behavior. Students receive state-of-the-art training in the theories and methods of I-O psychology and management. This integrated program relies on the expertise and dedication of both Psychology and Management faculty members.

Program Features

Our approach to student development is based on an active learning model. As part of their education, students are expected to apply what they learn in the classroom in faculty-directed research or consulting projects. Students receive training in:

Designing and conducting research studies

Preparing and presenting research proposals

Working with funding sponsors and clients in organizational settings

Developing and implementing new assessment measures, training, and other organizational interventions
